Review: Asus ROG Maximus XII Hero WiFi

Overclocking Tests

Overclocking is done by increasing the voltage to 1.35V and CPU multiplier until the chip can no longer complete the Blender test. We imagine that 5.1-5.15GHz is the variation between all Z490 boards; it's a CPU ceiling more than power delivery limitation.

4,900MHz is a decent return from a high-frequency pack of Corsair Vengeance LPX memory, too.
